On 6 Sep 10 Sgt. Underwood and Deputy Sheriffs
Anderson and Simmons responded to the scene of death of a thirty-three

his own life after battling depression as a result of separating
from his wife. No foul play is suspected.

On 6 Sep 10 Deputy Sheriff Anderson requested
summonses for Sam Wilcoxen, age 32, and Kelly Curran, age 38,
both of 8261 Muskingum River Road, Lowell, for disorderly conduct
by fighting. During an argument over the status of their relationship
Ms. Curran struck Mr. Wilcoxen in the face and Mr. Wilcoxen
retaliated by slapping Ms. Curran in the back of the head. Both
parties provided conflicting statements about the incident but
neither reported being in fear for their safety.

On 6 Sep 10 Deputy Sheriff Anderson requested
a summons for a seventeen year old Fleming resident to appear
in Juvenile Court for being unruly. The juvenile’s mother
stated her son was upset over the fact that their grill was
broken and threw a pack of hamburger patties on the floor. An
argument subsequently ensued and the juvenile grabbed his mother
by the throat and kicked her in the legs. As punishment the
teenager’s mother attempted to remove her son’s
Playstation from his room but her son carried her from his room
to the kitchen.

On 6 Sep 10 Deputy Sheriff Rhodes investigated
a report of a fifteen year old who was allegedly assaulted by
her mother, Kathy J. Gaskins, age 37, 1936 Mill Branch Road,
Belpre. The teenager stated she was traveling in a vehicle with
her mother on State Route 7 when her mother began accusing her
of having a boy over to a residence where she was babysitting.
Ms. Gaskins proceeded to repeatedly slap and strike her daughter
in the face as many as forty or fifty times, bloodying her nose
and cutting her lip. Additionally, the teenager said her mother
had an odor of alcohol and that their vehicle swerved as they
traveled toward Belpre. Questioned about the incident, Ms. Gaskins
admitted striking her daughter numerous times and commented
that the number of times she smacked her daughter was excessive.
Consequently, Deputy Rhodes requested a warrant for Ms. Gaskins
for child endangering. Ms. Gaskins subsequently turned herself
in at the Washington County Jail.
